There were cultural activities conducted by the student-run clubs of IIM Udaipur, such as dance and music which pulled in a huge crowd at Fateh Sagar Pal, and it set it the tone for the final act, the Nukkad Naatak. The street play conducted by Live Puppets, the Dramatics club of IIM Udaipur, sent out a strong message regarding the apathetic mindset of Indians, which often focuses on getting our own homes clean at the expense of the cleanliness of the society.
The performance by Live Puppets wrapped up the event, and it reinforced the message of the cleanliness drive. After the successful conclusion of the carnival, the stage is set for Solaris- 2018, the fourth edition of the annual management fest of IIM Udaipur, which will be conducted on the 3rd and 4th of November.
